Tamron Americas announces a series of free online master classes led by professional photographers and filmmakers. These multi-part courses are designed for enthusiasts looking to elevate their skills and creativity, as well as seasoned professionals aiming to grow their business.

Participants can access and complete each class at their own pace. Enrollment is now open at https://tamronamericas.co/tamron-university.

"Our goal is for participants to take away more than just the basics of photography and videography from these courses," stated Ken Hubbard, Field Services Manager. “We want them to receive practical business advice, feel inspired to try something new, and learn through real-world, hands-on experiences. Most importantly, we hope they get to see the personal side of our pros and connect with their creative journeys."

 • Portraiture
• Landscape and Nature

Each course is taught by an accomplished industry professional who takes you behind the scenes of their creative process. They will provide valuable insights into their technical approach, gear choices, business strategies, and artistic philosophies in nine or more focused lessons.

“I hope that this course will inspire the photographer to feel more confident when they are photographing birds,” commented Tamron Image Master David Akoubian. “I also hope it inspires the photographer to get out into nature. As well as taking the time to watch and learn the behavior of the birds and animals they will encounter.”

Erica covered the topic thoroughly and her shared personal experiences made the topic more interesting and less intimidating to explore for myself.”
